Indices and Surds
  1. Indices
    1. Multiplication Rule
      1. x^a * x^b = x^a+b
        1. e.g. 2^2 * 2^3 = 2^5 = 32
        2. Division Rule
          1. x^a / x^b = x^a-b
            1. e.g. 2^3 / 2^2 = 2^1 = 2
            2. Power on Power Rule
              1. (x^a)^b = x^a*b
                1. e.g. (2^3)^2 = 2^3*2 = 2^6 = 64
                2. Power of Zero
                  1. x^0 = 1
                    1. e.g. 2^0 = 1
                    2. Negative Powers
                      1. x^-a = 1/x^a
                        1. e.g. 2^-2 = 1/2^2 = ¼
                        2. Fractional Indices
                          1. x^a/b = (b√(x))^a
                            1. e.g. 8^2/3 = (cube √(8))^2 = 2^2 = 4
                          2. Surds
                            1. Addition
                              1. a*√(b) + c*√(b) = (a+c)*√(b)
                                1. e.g. 4*√(7) + 3*√(7) = 7*√(7)
                                2. Subtraction
                                  1. a*√(b) - c*√(b) = (a-c)*√(b)
                                    1. e.g. 4*√(7) - 2*√(7) = 2*√(7)
                                    2. Multiplication Rule
                                      1. √ab = √a * √b
                                        1. e.g. √2*4 = √2*√4 = 2√2
                                        2. Division Rule
                                          1. √a/b = √a / √b
                                            1. e.g. √2/3 = √2 / √3
                                            2. Rationalising the Denominator
                                              1. a / √b * √b / √b = a√b / b
                                                1. e.g. 1 / √2 * √2 / √2 = √2 / 2
                                                2. a / b+√c * b-√c / b-√c = a(b-√c) / (b+√c)(b-√c)
                                                  1. e.g. 1 / 2+√2 * 2-√2 / 2-√2 = 2-√2 / 4-2 = 2-√2 / 2
